List directory into one line

How do I create a list of directory into one line instead of multiple directory per line (as output of "ls -d").

I thought I understood, until I read your whole request.

Could you please give an example of how such output would look?

how about the option '-1' that's a hyphen and the number one, for one file per line..

Quote:

man ls
-1 list one file per line

ls -d1

You may also consider

Code:

find . -type d

to exclusively and recursively look for directories, starting from the current one and displaying them one per line.

I just got it working using
 $echo $(ls -d)
